jeep great cherokee laredo, chevrolet equinox, hyundai santa fe, or toyota highlander??

Import and US, Toyota and Jeep and Hyundai and Chevy and Ford and Honda and. you'll hear strong arguments on both sides of the fence. you may be able to find million mile stories and died after 50,000 miles stories from all four.

I personally believe that any of the vehicles you list are going to be quality vehicles. With correct maintenance, any of the above will go well over 200,000 miles without big breakdowns. I do not think quality is your deciding factor.

If buyer opinion matters to you, check edmunds.com for reviews. They post user reviews also as important reviews, and you may be able to compare featrues and alternatives side by side. do not go by buyer Reports they're I believe very and unjustifiably predisposed toward Japanese made cars, and they wear white lab coats to make themselves seem important.

Most importantly, I recommend test driving each car twice. Drive all four, then drive all four again, so you may be able to compare what you liked and disliked about each. Pay attention to how each drives, accelerates, brakes, handles bumps in the road, handles corners, etc. How do you like the dashboard layout and where things are located? Do you care if there's an oil pressure gauge or a volt gauge? Do you find the radio, heat/ac alternatives, color schemes, roof rack, style, etc. to your liking? What does each offer for 4x4 systems, and how important is that to you?

Tell the dealership sales rep that you're interested in all four, that you're comparison shopping, that you aren't prepared to purchase today. Ask why this car is better than the other three. Toyota will start off waving the "quality" flag and tell you that all the others are junk. Tell them, "Suppose that is not the deciding factor. Now what else do you bring to the table?"

After test driving all four vehicles, go home and sleep on it, and weigh the driving experience in all four, till there's a clear winner in your mind. Then go back to the dealership and talk turkey.

Sorry for the long winded answer, but I believe purchasing a car is a big buy. You want all the info you may be able to gather before you take the plunge. Good luck, and I hope you love whichever SUV you decide.

Go for the Highlander. SUVs will be used quite about than how you could a car, hence, better get one with hard repute for dependability.

Buy Japanese over Korean and American brands.

If Honda, see Pilot also.

I could say out of those choices the Toyota Highlander also. though Toyota is pricier than some others, they'll last most likely the longest for you.

God forbide, do not purchase a JEEP . At least if you must ask this question. Jeeps are for jeep people and past that you must make your decission. Will this be a highway only vehicle? then the Chevy. Are you worried about milage? then the Hyundai {good little vehicle}. And if you like a car built to last the Toyota {but they ride like a lumber wagon}.

The Santa Fe is the strongest of the group, has the best warrenty, and is the best in general value. The rest are good but are missing in one area or another.

Yeah.Foreign long lasting..Tell that to my two jeeps with over 220,000 miles. Go check parts prices and in many cases availablitly..both awful.. Why purchase foreign? No reason at all. haven't personally tried the Chevy..but have a 22 year old Suburban.274,000 miles.Yeah foreign crap..longer lasting..What a wives rear.Buy Toyota..from the president who sexually harrasses his American secretary..Be proud of that.

I will tell you this. Do your research on them all. Compare notes. Pros and cons. Check Safety ratings. Check recall history. Type in Recall on Jeep Cherokee Laredo, then move on to the next. it assists to research and helps to test drive. I did lots of research on what I am purchasing.
